THIS TINE He WANTS THE WASHINGTON AND GEORGE

FRONT OF RIGGS BANK INSTEAD OF TIE PRESENT

Lieut. Amiss, Of the first precinct has suggested
to Major Moore the propriety OF requesting the
washington and Georgetown Railroad Co. to trans
fer their passengers to and from the 14th street
branch In front OF Riggs Bank instead Of the south
west corner OF New York avenue and 18th street
as now. The reason he gave is that the transfer
OF at the corner OF 18th street and New

mept OF the police regulations requiring heavily
loaded wagons to keep on the car track while
moving on 18th street. Major Moore has for
Warded Lieut.. AmiSS' letter with his approval to

Germans Using American Trademarks.
CENTRAL AMERICA FLOODED WITH SPURIOUS WARES
Consul Deepre, at San Salvador. reports to the
Department OF State that "products OF American
toll SKILL and industry are supplanted IN Salvador
and suppose everywhere in Central America, by
base limitations. Iron machetes are substituted
for those OF steel as manufactured in Connecticut
and New York. The trademarks OF American arti-
sans are stamped or imprinted on the worthless
German implements. I am told that $4,000
nachetes are sold annually in Salvador at an
average price OF $3.50 each. American osnabergs,
Sheet1ngs, muSl1ns, and caltcos are driven out OF
Central American markets by goods bearing the
brands and trademarks OF the best American
mills. IheSe worthless German goods are
made OF East India and Egyt1an cheap short-staple

est beverage ever imbibed was German claret sold
here and bearing the trademark OF the best wine
grower OF California. Beautiful bottles, bearing
on their exterlors pretty labels OF the great beer
dlstllerles OF st. Louis, Philadelphia and Milwau-

Perhaps the deadeSt Of all these beverages is the

The Boat Dwellers Of Japan.

Young people who live in London or
New lorh may fancy that I cities are
crowded, and that many families must
live without very much ali to breathe
or space for the boys and girls to play
in-zWnat would they say to the boat
jewellers of Japan: In that crowded
c~o,fntrv hundreds Of families spend
their lives and bring up their children
upon the water, and know nothing of
tie land except as they make an occa-
si5nal visi. to it when obliged to. pur-
chase supplies or to attend to some IN
usual business.
In every bay along the coast are found
hundreds, if not thousands, of small
Graf, called ''junks." These are small,
fat-bottomed boats, and are owned and
inhabited by q man and his family,
Jus, as houses are in other parts Of the
world. Their business is the transpor-
tation of goods and merchandise of all
kinds, and their navigation is q sort Of
family affair. one traveller says:
81 have seen q boat twenty feet long
most adroitly managed by three chill
dren all under seven years or age. | am
told that, Notwithstanding their aptness
toswImmingmany boatmen getdrowned,
for no boat ever goes to anothers aid,
nor Will any boatn1an ever save another
from drowning, because, as he says, 1t Is
ali fate, and he who interferes with fate
will be severely punished IN some way"
